AN OUNCE OF CURE FOR THE NEW YEAR

Our nation’s affluence has created the widespread deception that sin’s season of pleasure is well worth what we pay for the temporary relief of its consequence.  In this deception we daily bankrupt ourselves while making obscenely rich not only those who cater to

JUST A THOUGHT

If we Christians were not so defensive about Santa Claus, lighted trees, gifts aplenty and wise men at the manger, we might come to believe that the antiChristmasites are doing a great service to the Truth of Christ, for much of the traditional American Christmas story is not truth, but

AESOP’S FABLE (The Simile) and AESOP’S FABLE (The Reality)

In her relatively brief existence America has benefited the world with her wealth as no other people that came before her.  Now many nations which have gratefully received her aid would repeat the folly of the couple from Aesop’s fable and “gut the Goose to get the gold.”  Worse still, some under the very cover of her wings, by likewise taking all and returning nothing, would effectively compromise her health for a bigger share of the egg.

And, if this were not enough

From Islam To Christ

The Testimony of Pastor Mohamad Yasin

My first name is Mohamad and that speaks for itself!  I came from a strong Muslim background.  My father and mother were committed Muslims and my six sisters and three of my brothers are still active in the religion of Islam.  As well, three of my uncles were Imams (Muslim Priests).

From a very young age my parents had me attending the Mosque in my village.  When I became a teenager I began to be active in

RELIGION OVER GOVERNMENT

We too often underestimate the influence of religion on government.  The assigned attributes of the prevalent deity of a people group will, consciously and/or unconsciously, determine their acceptance or rejection of a given form of government.  Also, the perceived gender characteristics of that deity are

READ THE BOOK

America has a problem: everyone wants her wealth; few consider her health.  Many nations, being friends in need, wish her destroyed when their aid is necessarily withdrawn.  More and more her own people "take it all" and give nothing back.  Wealth redistribution (taking from the wealthy and giving to the willfully workless (not to be confused with those who cannot work) is becoming

SEASONS OF DECEPTION (10/30/2011)

October 30, 2011

In America we sometimes celebrate deception.  We all know that bunnies do not lay eggs, nor does the plant kingdom produce henfruit (hen eggs), yet we celebrate Easter with bunnies that lay eggs hidden in the grass and marvel at bushes that grow multi-colored henfruit.  We all know there is no Santa Claus, yet we celebrate Christmas with red-suited men carrying sacks of free gifts.  We all “know” there are

History of Pastor Mohamad Yasin and New Life - and recent letter

I met Pastor Mohamad Yasin in 1994 at his home in Bartica, a small town about fifty miles upriver from Georgetown, Guyana.  In his youth he was a devout Muslim, but he committed his life to Jesus Christ in 1961 when he witnessed his teacher being completely healed of heart disease in a Christian evangelistic meeting.  For fifty years now he has

Ten Dollars

            Once there were three men.  One was rich, one had ten dollars, and the other was destitute and starving.  The Lord told the man with the ten dollars to give his money to the rich man.  He refused and with his ten dollars he bought a steak dinner, promptly choked on it and died.  Now there was a rich man, a dead man, and a man left destitute and starving.

Once there were three men.  One was rich, one had ten dollars, and the other was

Dualism?

I deal with two opposing, but undeniable, realities:  I am ageless, but I am getting older; I am completely healed, but I am sometime sick; I will live forever, but I am dying; I am rich, but I am poor; I am a son of God,

This from Brother Chad - Please Answer me

I wipe the sleep from my eyes, and put this rig in gear.
After spending another restless night, asking God to make His purpose clear.
I thought I needed growing, that was why I am on the road.
But another day and another load, to me His purpose has not showed.
Some have said God will send me home... when the time is right I'll see.

This from Brother Chad - Forgive me

Forgive me for the things I've said.
Forgive me for the life I've led.
Forgive me for not comprehending the cost.
Forgive me for the opportunities lost.
Forgive me for the wrongs I've done.
Forgive me for the times I've run.
Forgive me for crucifying your son.
Forgive me Father, for your the only one.
Who can forgive me.

This is from Brother Chad

A passion burning deep inside, a longing for the truth. How my heart is crying out, my actions still aloof.

The dawning of each new day, an opportunity,sent by grace.
Will we bold in the shadow stand, or will we hide our face.
